Divas in Heels – Friday, October 3-Friday, October 24

Break out those pumps and dance!

Dancing in high heels helps you feel sexy and graceful, the most powerful and sexy women are the ones who are totally relaxed in their own bodies. Once the body is warm & confident, It’s time to get those beautiful heels out . Dancing in heels takes skill & a massive amount of core strength. When you’re dancing in heels, you want to be light on your feet & centered in your body. Once you’re sorted with your shoes, the DIVA in you is good to go! All that’s left is to strut your stuff with pride & confidence, and nothing gives a woman more confidence than the most beautiful pair of shoes on her feet!
